[Marisa's not exactly sounding like herself today. In fact, she sounds a little freaked out though her voice is quiet.]

Um... What, uh... What happens when... ah. What happens when drones, um.... die?


[1125 Taylor (action)]

[Anyone passing by 1125 Taylor might notice the front door is half open and there sun reflects off of something thick and red dripping slowly down it.

[OOC WARNING: Marisa is now suffering the Postman's Curse for breaking into the post office. Any characters coming to 1125 Taylor may be subjected to bodily injury should they have physical contact with Marisa. PM me for more details if needed.]

...I suppose that you can call it so, not attending was my choice.

[That said.]

Have you calmed down a bit, miss?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Yeah... As much as I can. Thanks.

[ex_seventh238]

[She nods.]

It's fine. I'll clean up the floor now. Does anyone else live here, that isn't a drone?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Yeah. An asshole alien. My 'dad'.

[ex_seventh238]

I live next doors, so that makes us neighbors. Would you like to come over for the rest of the day? My assigned "son" is a big brat, but he's often out, and I can get him to behave around guests. The "daughter" is very kind and helpful, and while the others are drones, they're easy to dissuade so that they would mind their own business.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

...do you have any good books to read?

[ex_seventh238]

[She considers this.]

Hm... I don't, but I know someone who might. Have you met Crowe? He has a collection of classic literature. There are some detective fiction there, I believe!

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

I don't know anyone named Crowe, ze. But classical literature is always good like The Divine Comedy and Paradise Lost and such...

[ex_seventh238]

I can call him and ask. Would that be okay with you?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Yeah... that's cool.

You're being weirdly nice.

[ex_seventh238]

Then I'll do that shortly.

Mm, I still don't know what could have happened, and I won't deny that I'd like to know someday, but there's no rush. It's been hard on you, so please focus on yourself for now. [Now how to try to get her to calm down a bit more...

Right, introductions! She still hasn't done that yet.]

My name is Ciel, and I live by 1127 on this street. We'll probably be seeing a lot of each other from now on, so may I ask for your name also, miss?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

I don't know what happened...

[Marisa tilts her head looking at Ciel. She's heard that name before. Where did she... the vampire hunter. Her. No wonder she sounded vaguely familiar. At least she has a face to go with the name.]

Marisa Kirisame. We've talked before, ze. Sorry, I didn't... recognize your voice.

[ex_seventh238]

[Describing in detail the progression of events is what she'd ask for, but this still seems like a bad time. And... yes, for a 'Knight Templar', she's looser than most...

Her face does light up from recognition.] Ah! I see... It's fine. I thought the same, but I wasn't sure. You sounded much more energetic when we spoke last. It's nice to finally meet you in person, miss...

Oh, would it be Kirisame-san, or miss Kirisame? Your last name sounds Japanese, but your first name sounds European. Are these guesses accurate?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Genosokyo's in Japan but I get called all sorts of things, so whatever works better for you. Or you could just call me Marisa. Not so big on formalities, ze...

[ex_seventh238]

[So another of Gensokyo? There sure is quite a bit of them...] Your first name is Western. Would 'miss' be okay? [She did generally stick to them all the time, no matter what she's told.]

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

If that's what you want. [shrugs] Fine with me.
